John and I were out for a bit this morning and recorded 56 species in total, 57 if we include Feral Pigeon. A Little Egret and a Yellowhammer in the Upper Cherwell Valley were new for the year. Other highlights were two individual Sand Martins through, a Peregrine perched up and viewable from the reservoir, a Greylag Goose flying around, Willow Tit singing briefly, at least six Chiffchaffs singing, a few Herring Gulls and a couple of Snipe.

Description
This is no Farmoor, Otmoor or Port Meadow. This is Grimsbury. It's Grim up north!
There is a running total year list in the link above.
Please send in your bird sightings to the B.O.S. and/or to me directly for inclusion on the blog. If you have some photos you would like to contribute please let me know (contact via the comments box on the right if you do not have my email already). Thank you.
